Quality matters Many companies don't take the extra steps to ensure they are providing a top of the line product that WORKS.   Young Living is very different in that it monitors the process in its plant-based products from seed all the way to seal.   The company abides by very strict guidelines to fulfill this seed to seal promise to us.   This seed to seal promise is very important because it ensures the top-notch quality and effectiveness of each product. Because YL owns its own farms and requires its sister/partner farms to abide by its strict guidelines of... starting with the best seeds using no harmful chemicals hand weeding harvesting at peak times distilling on site and testing at least three times before sending products off to us ...it is giving us products of the highest quality, making them more effective when we use them.   ----//---- How important is it to you to have a high-quality product with maximum effectiveness? 1 not very high: 10 very high.
